La Banda Del Carro Rojo
Los Tigres del Norte
The Red Car Gang
They say they came from the south
In a red car
Carrying 100 kilos of coke
Heading to Chicago
That's what the snitch said
Who had turned them in
They had already passed customs
The one at the Texas crossing
But right in the middle of San Antonio
They were waiting for them
It was the Texas Rangers
Who run the county
A siren was wailing
An immigrant was shouting
To stop the car
So they could search it
And not to resist
Because if they did, they'd get killed
An M16 emerged
As the air roared
The light from a patrol car
Was seen flying through the air
That's how that fight started
Where that massacre took place
Lino Quintana said
This had to happen
My buddies are dead
They won't be able to testify
And I feel for you, sheriff
Because I can't sing
Of the 7 who died
Only the crosses remained
4 were from the red car
The other 3 were from the government
Don't worry about them
They'll go with Lino to hell
They say they were from the candle
Others say they were from the altar
Some even say
They came from Parral
The truth was never known
No one went to claim them
